Sister, I dare say he is doing no harm unless he persuades anyone else to use it. Can you see that happening? Seriously? No, me neither. It's his own time he's wasting: time which would be better spent reading and coming to grips with the Bible and then applying its lessons to his everyday life.


Were it not for the complete and utter waste of the little time that God has afforded him on His Earth, I would find it rather endearing. As it is, I am disgusted.

I do read the scriptures in my down time to keep me focused.

Re: Hello, it's good to see you

So, if this new OS is not going to be a Debian-derived Linux distribution, that means you will have to write new versions of programs that can run in it.

...Or are you planning to use solely Windows-based software?

But, isn't that what Windows is already doing?

So to sum it up: basically, your ambition is to create a less buggy version of Windows? You really think you can accomplish what Gates couldn't?

it will be better as well as super secure and will surpass Windows.

more like a hybrid of the two wine2.0 is slightly flawed.

Re: Hello, it's good to see you

So... basically, you want to create a Linux distribution (I assume something Debian-derived) with an embedded Wine 2.0? Wouldn't it be less hassle to create a small partition of the hard drive to install Windows on it?

Re: Hello, it's good to see you

Did somebody mention shells? Here's Oliver Wendell Holmes.


This is the ship of pearl, which, poets feign,
Sails the unshadowed main,—
The venturous bark that flings
On the sweet summer wind its purpled wings
In gulfs enchanted, where the Siren sings,
And coral reefs lie bare,
Where the cold sea-maids rise to sun their streaming hair.

Its webs of living gauze no more unfurl;
Wrecked is the ship of pearl!
And every chambered cell,
Where its dim dreaming life was wont to dwell,
As the frail tenant shaped his growing shell,
Before thee lies revealed,—
Its irised ceiling rent, its sunless crypt unsealed!

Year after year beheld the silent toil
That spread his lustrous coil;
Still, as the spiral grew,
He left the past year’s dwelling for the new,
Stole with soft step its shining archway through,
Built up its idle door,
Stretched in his last-found home, and knew the old no more.

Thanks for the heavenly message brought by thee,
Child of the wandering sea,
Cast from her lap, forlorn!
From thy dead lips a clearer note is born
Than ever Triton blew from wreathèd horn!
While on mine ear it rings,
Through the deep caves of thought I hear a voice that sings:—

Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul,
As the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy low-vaulted past!
Let each new temple, nobler than the last,
Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by life’s unresting sea!

Or possibly vice-versa, Sister. It's not easy to decipher, is it, let alone work out the reasoning. Probably best to assume there is none (reasoning, that is).


I don't know why people bother with these things when we have JesOS.

Re: Hello, it's good to see you

That's where the beauty. It will have a Windows Shell with the ability to download Linux programs and Windows programs. With Linux is full security. meaning no viruses

Re: Hello, it's good to see you

I'll repeat my question: by being able to run .exe files, will it become as susceptible to viruses/spyware/malware as Windows is?

We already have one extremely crappy OS that runs Windows programs. It's called Windows.

Rather than reinventing a rather broken wheel, why don't you do something useful, such as write (or improve already existing) open source equivalents of whatever programs you cannot live without - for Linux? I, for example, thought I could not live without Adobe Photoshop and ArcGIS. Now, I use GIMP all the time, and I'm learning how to use GRASS GIS!

Re: Hello, it's good to see you

What's people's opinions on this raspberry vignette?


The image was certainly eye grabbing to me, ahem. I was about to ask if anyone would know the girl in the photo, she looked like a stock photo model someone here might know, however, despite my initial impressions, She might not be a nice Christian girl - I sadly noticed the two offensive ear piercings.

Re: Hello, it's good to see you

yes I was thinking of calling it winlynx or Linux duo

Re: Hello, it's good to see you

That's vinaigrette. Not vignette.



Well, I'm not enough computer smart to do anything ambitious with mine, but - it's more portable than my laptop, so my laptop is my desktop, and Raspberry is my laptop.

That actually sounds interesting - so basically, you want to create a Linux version which can run .exe files? But, won't that open the doors to virus vulnerability? I love Ubuntu and I'm OK with Raspbian*, and one of the reasons why is that I don't need to keep up with the latest antivirus software!

Re: Hello, it's good to see you

we use it here as a salad dressing instead of ranch or thousand island , it's usually a woman's preference

vignette

noun
1a : a picture (such as an engraving or photograph) that shades off gradually into the surrounding paper
b : the pictorial part of a postage stamp design as distinguished from the frame and lettering

2a : a short descriptive literary sketch
b : a brief incident or scene (as in a play or movie)

3 : a running ornament (as of vine leaves, tendrils, and grapes) put on or just before a title page or at the beginning or end of a chapter also : a small decorative design or picture so placed

As far as the Raspberry pi it's had a camera since Model 0, but it's has better out put with Model B or higher they just realised a new pi That is a bit faster.

I love building on them.

I'm about to make a new OS a Linux/Windows hybrid that run programs for both without downloading an app to bridge the gap (like wine)

Re: Hello, it's good to see you

How would anyone use vignettes in their salads? Do you apply them to a picture of a salad?

Thank you Sister! I didn't know that Raspberry PI now had a camera module - although it does not surprise me that it has a vignette problem. It is such a cute tiny computer, though, I use it as my travel laptop.

Now, all this unrelated salad talk made me hungry. I'm going to the kitchen to make myself a salad with cherry tomatoes and walnuts. Maybe raspberry vinaigrette dressing? I have no idea what made me think of it.
